CD Transport
Since you believe that CD transports sound different nothing I say will convince you otherwise. Therefore buy the least expensive of the three.  
Headshell fix and a New Goldring E3
@llg98ljk +1! That's a nice system you put together! Too many are caught up in the quest of buying ever more expensive components when in reality diminishing returns set in quickly!  
Calling all Audiophiles
Go to Monoprice on eBay. No need to waste money on $$$$ boutique cable.  
New to Streaming
@1happyman +1! I second your choice of the Wiim Pro! Die-hard 'philes won't like it because how can anything so cheap be any good? Doesn't Wiim have a budget version for like $70?   
Seeking the Ultimate Reference for Tubes
Every tube-o-phile should have a copy of the General Electric Tube Manual on hand for verifying operating voltages, transconductance, current draw . . . of the vast majority of receiving tubes.  
John Strohbeen from Ohm Acoustics passed away
I had a phone conversation with John some years ago. I told him about my find at Goodwill of a pair of Sound Cylinders for a song! John was surprised and remarked that they typically sold used for around $1200/pair! I still have them in use and wi... 
I want to give away my Audio Research D-52

Happy Audiophile Day!
Happy Audiophile Day to all the Audiogon members! Enjoy your favorite tunes on the wide range of systems you all have assembled! This is an inclusive hobby where all are welcome!  
Pink Floyd Aficionados
Get a pair of Quad 57's!  
Warm vs Revealing—the struggle for balance
@retrocrownfan +1! The 12" baffle for an even transition between bass and mids has been largely overlooked by speaker designers over the past few decades. Skinny may be "in" for gals but it makes for problematic speakers!  
Question about suitable fuse metals
Why not use silver slugs! Lower resistance than gold, copper or - God help us - titanium. Don't forget to try some vanadium - used in my steak knife!  
Need some help picking my first MC Cartridge
I don't think that going from MP300 to MP500 is much of an improvement! While getting a good LOMC cartridge certainly is!  
unclassifiable, original music, and impossible to define in simple terms...
I like Can! Soon Over Baba Luna! Future Days! Ege Bamyasi! Tago Mago!

Magma!  
Squeaky Crosley CR66 turntable
Crosley's are junk! Even a lowly MCS belt-drive with a P - mount cartridge is far better!
